FIG.1
Solution
In order to solve the problem of building embankments on a steep
ground base at these two segments of the route, it was decided to
build embankments with reinforcement.
The Maccaferri Terramesh System (TMS) was used for the construction (FIG. 1 and FIG.2 show the TMS during and after the construction).
The face of embankment is formed by gabions, which form blocks 6
m in height and have 2:1 face inclination. Blocks are divided from
each other by berms. Berms were predicted to reduce global inclination of the structure and to correct geometry during the construction.
The lengths of reinforcements, used in embankments were 5, 7 and 9
m.
The height of gabions is 0.5 m at lower part of the embankments and
1.0 m at upper part. That was the demand for reinforcement density
from stability analysis.
First embankment is 176 m long with maximum height of 29 m,
while the other one is 208 m long with maximum height of 30 m.
